6 Weeks Later, September 7, 2018, Punta Cana

Alex stares at herself in the bathroom mirror, unable to believe that she is currently standing here in a wedding dress getting ready to marry the love of her life. Just nine short months ago the very thought of getting married, committing to one person for the rest of her life, would've freaked her the fuck out, but a certain beautiful blue-eyed blonde changed all of that. Smiling at herself in the mirror of the bathroom of Nicky and Lorna's suite, she puts the finishing touches on her makeup and hair. Piper insisted that they follow tradition and spend the night before their wedding apart, so Alex being the gentlewoman that she is, let Piper have their luxury suite and she bunked with Nicky and Lorna for the night. Alex flips off the light and walks out of the bathroom where Nicky is waiting.

"Fuck Vause! You look amazing!" Nicky whistles as Alex spins around in a circle so that Nicky can see the completed look. The tall brunette is wearing an off white plunging halter neckline dress that flows to just below her knees. She has left her long jet black hair loose with her signature black eye liner and red lipstick to finish off the look. Since the wedding will be on the beach, she has decided to go for the barefoot look. "Wow! I can already envision the geyser Blondie'll have between her legs when she sees you!" Nicky teases. Alex chuckles and walks toward the wild haired woman who is all decked out in her "best woman" jumpsuit that she picked out before they left.

"Thanks Nichols, you are looking awfully dapper yourself…although I have to admit that I don't like you imagining what my wife's pussy looks like. Holy shit! MY WIFE! Can you believe it? In just about an hour I'll have a wife!" Alex shouts shaking her head with the hugest smile on her porcelain face.

"We'd better get going Stretch…you don't want Chapman to think you got cold feet now do you? Let's go and get you hitched!"

It is a short walk from Nicky's hotel room to the beach were the ceremony will be held. Alex gasps when she sees the white wedding canopy covered in tropical flowers set up facing the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea. "I can't believe I get to marry the love of my life literally in paradise," Alex murmurs to Nicky taking in the beautiful venue and the warm sun beginning to set in the West. "You know Alex, I know I'm a smartass most of the time and you're probably expecting some vulgar wisecrack from me right now, but dude…I am so fucking happy for you guys—I got nothing!" Nicky says pulling her best friend into a tight hug.

"There you are! I was beginning to get worried about you two!" Diane says pulling her daughter into a bear hug. "Allie you look beautiful…I can't believe my baby girl is getting married!" she whispers into Alex's ear and then pulls away to wipe away the tears that have started running down her cheeks. "Mom! Don't cry! You'll make me cry! I am so fuckin excited Mom…" Alex says biting her bottom lip, "I still can't believe I got so lucky to find the woman of my dreams, my soulmate, and she actually agreed to be my wife…" the brunette continues shaking her head.

"I just came from seeing Piper…Allie she looks amazing and she is just as excited as you are…I am so happy for you Allie, enjoy this because you deserve it." Diane kisses Alex's cheek before guiding her up the aisle to her place next to the officiant where she will wait for her bride to arrive. Alex talks quietly with Nicky for a few minutes until Lorna comes down the staircase and nods at the piano player before taking her seat next to Diane. Soft music begins to play and Alex sees Polly beginning to descend the staircase as the butterflies really begin fluttering in the brunette's stomach. She doesn't know why she is feeling so nervous because she has never been more sure of anything in her entire life she just wants this to be perfect for Piper. Suddenly she sees Piper appear on the arm of Bill at the top of the staircase as "Here Comes the Bride" begins from the piano. It's as if time stands still for a moment and all of Alex's nerves just melt away. As Piper and Bill get ever closer to her, Alex can feel tears welling up in her eyes. The blonde is drop dead gorgeous in her long white sweetheart neckline wedding gown. Her hair is long and wavy the way Alex loves it and she is wearing the blue pendant necklace Alex gave her for Christmas. As her bride arrives next to her, Alex can see that Piper is also fighting tears as she gives her dad a kiss on the cheek. Bill takes his seat as Piper turns again toward Alex. "You look amazing Alex…I'm the luckiest woman alive," Piper whispers to her love taking the brunette's hand and interlocking their fingers. "No, I'm the lucky one babe…you are exquisite," Alex whispers back smiling at the blonde.

The officiant begins, "We are gathered here to today to unite Alex and Piper in holy matrimony. They have informed me that they have written their own vows, so at this time I will turn it over to Alex."

Alex takes a deep breath and turns so that she is facing her bride. Reaching across to grab Piper's other hand, Alex smiles and begins. "Pipes…you once asked me if I believe in love at first sight. Well I didn't and I used to make fun of people that claimed they did. Babe, I fell in love with you the moment you walked into my bar nine months ago and I have fallen more in love with you every day since then. I know in my heart that you are my soulmate, my person, my other half and…that I'm not complete without you-if that makes sense." Alex pauses for a moment as a tear begins to roll down her cheek. Piper reaches up gently and wipes away the tear before wiping her own eyes as well. Alex continues, "If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be getting married, I probably would have laughed in their face. I never really believed in committed relationships let alone marriage, but you changed all that Pipes. I can't imagine my life without you in it and I am so honored that I get to spend eternity with you by my side." Piper is full on crying now, but there is a humongous smile on her face, "Oh fuck…how do I follow that?" Alex, Piper, and their guests all share a chuckle before Piper begins her vows.

"Al…the night I met you my life changed in the best possible way. That night I was hoping that earth shaking, stomach fluttering, soulmate kind of love existed and that I would find it someday. Little did I know that I would find it that very night. When I first saw you I thought you were so hot…and so out of my league and then when you spoke to me my heart started beating a little faster—that voice… Then you brought me a drink and your hand "accidentally" brushed mine and it was as if a small jolt of lightning hit my body as I felt a sort of electricity run through my body. I still feel that you know…every time you touch me. I love you so much Alex, I really can't believe I'm standing here with you," Piper trails off as more tears escape her baby blue eyes. "I once told Polly that I couldn't begin to imagine forever with somebody…now I can't even imagine just one day without you. You are my everything Al, and I'm so happy I get to walk next to you forever."

Alex, Piper, and most of the guests are wiping tears as Piper finishes. Even Nicky has to quickly wipe away a tear as the officiant continues. "Do you, Alex Pearl Vause take Piper Elizabeth Chapman to be your wife? To have and to hold, through sickness and in health, until death parts you?"

"I do" Alex smiles and squeezes Piper's hands, then she slides the wedding band on her finger.

"Do you Piper Elizabeth Chapman take Alex Pearl Vause to be your wife? To have and to hold, through sickness and in health, until death parts you?" the officiant continues.

"I do" Piper squeaks through the tears streaming down her face as she carefully slides the wedding band on Alex's finger.

"I am proud to present Mrs. And Mrs. Vause! You may kiss your bride!"

A giddy smile lights up both women's faces as Piper literally smashes into Alex kissing her deeply. As usual the real world melts away and it's just Piper and Alex in this moment together. They are pulled from their bubble by the cheers and catcalls (Nicky) as all of their guests want to congratulate the happy couple. After many hugs and kisses from their family and friends, the newlyweds are left alone for a few moments as the guests walk down the beach to the tent where their reception will be held. Alex pulls her wife close to her and wraps her arms around the blonde's waist as Piper wraps hers around the brunette's neck. They rest their foreheads together for a moment and just breathe in the moment. Alex leans in and captures Piper's lips with her own. Reluctantly breaking the kiss a few moments later Alex asks, "Well…Mrs. Vause are you ready to celebrate?"

"Hmmm…I love the sound of that," Piper murmurs into her wife's ear. "Even though all I want to do right now is ravish you, we have family and friends that want to help us celebrate tonight…but first," Piper says reaching for a bottle of champagne and two glasses, "let's have a private toast." Piper pops the cork and pours two glasses handing one to her wife. "To us and our everlasting love and lives together," Piper whispers holding up her glass. "To us," Alex responds clinking her glass to Piper's. Piper takes a sip, but Alex does not. "Pipes…babe…I can't drink this," Alex says with a smile as she places one hand on her stomach.

Suddenly realization hits Piper as her eyes nearly pop out of her head, "Alex…you don't mean…you're pregnant?"

Alex smiles and nods her head.

"Holy shit baby! Are you sure? How long have you known?" Piper fires questions at her wife.

Alex chuckles, "Yeah as sure as I can be…I mean my period is late and I took like four tests this morning in Nicky and Lorna's bathroom and they all came out positive, so…"

Oh my god, I'm so fuckin happy right now, I mean I didn't think it was possible to be any happier than I was when I became your wife, but damn…your carrying our baby and I'm over the moon!" Piper squeals and literally jumps up and down like an excited child on Christmas morning. "Does anyone else know?"

"Of course not Pipes, I wanted you to be the first to know. I mean Nicky and Lorna will find out when they return to their room and find all the tests in their garbage," Alex laughs. Piper smiles broadly and kisses Alex passionately. Alex's heart melts when Piper drops to her knees and places a gentle kiss on her wife's belly before standing back up, taking her hand, and walking toward the tent where their friends and family are waiting.

The End

As I stated previously I may post a very short epilogue, but I still have not ruled out a sequel to this story. If I decide to do the sequel, I probably won't do an epilogue. Please let me know what you think of the last two chapters and also if you would be interested in a sequel down the road. I have really enjoyed writing this story and I hope you enjoyed reading it. Thank you to all of you who reviewed, they really make my day!
